Team’s Top Tips
Don’t be a troll! Treat people online how you would in the real world.
Lots of people including famous people and YouTubers have had to wave goodbye to their careers after racist, misogynistic or just plain wrong comments from years ago were brought to the surface. Anyone including friends, schools, colleges and future employers can also search you online and this can affect you now and in the future.
Before you post or like a comment, take a step back and think about how you might feel if this message was about you. Could this offend someone or get you into trouble for using hate speech?
